Ready to Hit the Beach

I grew up in a place where people rarely ever wore hats. They didn't need to. Men are usually in either the traditional headwear or wearing a baseball cap. And women wear either hijab or not. So how come we don't embrace the fashion of hats in all shapes and sizes? I think most women in Kuwait dislike to be stared at in weird way just because they're wearing a hat. Of course it's normal to wear a beach hat for the beach to protect themselves from the sun, but wearing one to go, let's say shopping? That's something that is abnormal in Kuwait. It's not considered wrong nor right, just plain weird. You know what? Maybe I'll wear one tomorrow for work? Must snap that when I do!

Anyhow, I found these really cool straw hats at Harvey Nichols Kuwait that will have you looking effortlessly chic this summer. I loved Eugenia Kim's "Do Not Disturb" sequin script wide brim hat! The exact sentiments felt lounging on the beach or poolside. You can find it online here. I also liked the 20's inspired lace boater hat in the first photo above by an Italian brand called Super Duper. You'll find so many creative and unique pieces by this brand here.

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit.  After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the  Altuzarra   sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away.  Which pair would you go for?

Magical Mode

As anyone who regularly reads Confashions may know, there are some designers I’ve been obsessed with for quite some time: one is the genius Erdem , the other is Nicholas Kirkwood , and Pierre Hardy . And because their designs are somehow easily accessible online and offline, I had the pleasure of featuring some of their creations and showing them the love they deserve. That said, there is one designer I’ve been particularly smitten with for quite some time. He has always been on the top of my favorite designers list ever since I was introduced to his designs by my fabulous fellow fashionisto Adnan Z Manjal   a couple of years back : Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi . I always wished I featured him more. I couldn’t because his pieces are very exclusive and as far as I know not stocked anywhere here. This clearly isn't just another post on my obvious love for Mohammed Ashi’s designs or the quality of his clothes as I have done that previously. Ashi simply deserves his very own epic p...
